Hello Jochen, very good question. >From my point of view the file timestamp should be the in-file representation >of the externally maintained state.txt timestamp, as in http://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/hour/000/001/668.state.txt for example.
This would it make very easy to update .osm.pbf files on a file basis. You would not need to care about externally maintained timestamp files. You would just say "update this file" and the update process could be done automatically.
